2 sessions since last reported
Saturday - 740 hands $13.04 profit
Sunday - 1293 hands $17.73 loss
Overall for month - 7,026 hands, Profit $16.90, 2.40 BB/100.
Disappointed with result today. :"( Initial analysis - A big chunk of the loss coming from AA being beaten by quad Queens , Should I have got away from bet on river ? Also some big laydowns when I had top pair. was I right to fold them ? And my red line loss $12 is there a problem there ? These questions and more will be investigated tomorrow !!. :-\

You said you had to make some big laydowns so the $12 loss is pretty much to be expected in this case. I would not be too concerned, it sounds to me like you are going about this the right way and have just not run that well but are still up, which is excellent. Would need to look at your hands in more depth of course to be sure. Volume is pretty good as well for just over a week into the month.
Try not to beat yourself up over losing big hands like AA vs QQ. Sounds pretty standard but even if you do identify a mistake that is still good as you will learn from it. If I see a hand where I think I have made a mistake I am much more likely to post it on my thread (when I am actually bothering to update it) than one where I play well (although I am not above the odd brag post *lol*). I find this helps us learn and I have definitely found your posts in the Strategy section most insightful and helpful so please keep them up.
Read Brendan"s signature to his posts - good advice that.

This is a long thread, but John Black has gathered a lot of advice on the levels you"re aiming for from a lot of very good players. Worth spending some time on.

cliffs - bet until you meet resistance and then fold

Great thread though

Thanks to all recommended PT4. Took 5 hours to convert 500k hands, but boy does it seem worth it. First impressions so much better than PT3. Only one problem my hud doesn"t seem to be working at the moment. Anybody any ideas ? Enabled zoom on stars config but still doesn"t appear to be working.
Its ok got it working now !!

My wife says I "m like a kid with a new toy at Xmas at the moment. She wanted to go out for a meal earlier on and I wasn"t happy.
From what I have seen so far - PT4 far superior to PT3. Standard huds much improved so is the data analysis. Playing 2NL zoom at the moment just to get used to the huds. Loads of info - just need to get used to where to look.
Anybody still playing PT3 highly recommend upgrade. If you can"t afford currently put on your Christmas list ;D
